SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 27, 1820. ,DISTRESSED MANUFACTURERS.- The MANUFACTURERS" - RELIEF COMMITTEE, having seen with great surprise, in the Morning Herald of this day, a Letter addressed to the Editor of that Paper, under date, " Burnley, May 22," and signed " A Pooa HAND Loom W*A via," and also a paragraph headed " Pcninam, May 23," con taining statements highly injurious to the character of Mr. Mor timer, the agent employed by them for the purpose of procuring the best information as to the state of the Manufacturing Dia triets, deem it to be their duty to express to the Public. their extreme regret, that the Editor of the Paper alluded to should not hart commueicatal to them the information, on the authority of which he hat inserted the paragraphs • they have instituted an inquiry upon the subject, and have cau sed application to be made to the. Editor of the Morning Herald for his authority. At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held at the City of London Tavern, May 26, 1626 BENJAMIN HAWES, Esq. and subsequently, The Lord Bishop of CHESTER, in the Chair ; Resolved, That 3001. he remitted for the relief of the Distressed Manufacture's of Stockport, Cheshire.

The Petitioner had been eighteen year. isservice.,on this itation'(uttnely, the West Indies), which, according to a , regulation that two years should be equal to three on any other 'tenors, woulal l eye entitled the Petitioner to sell all his commission., as Ise Was more than twenty years in the service I that he bad been put to the expellee of 14001. in endeavouring to obtain redress for the injury he bad sustained by being forced to quit the service ; sadhad besides being confined for 1112 dap by order of Colonel Arthur, when he had resumed the command. The Hon. Member said he sin cerely hoped that some Member in a future House of Parlia ment would take notice of tbe.subject and obtain redrew for the injuries this very ill-used isidividnal bad sustained, in conse quence of the objectionable and oppressive line of conduct pursued by the Noble Lord, or rather his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. The Petitioner earnestly entreated the House. to interfere and save him from the ruin which bad fallen on an active and meritorious Officer. He concluded by moving that the Petition be read. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, after moving the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Bonded Corn Bill, introduced a pro viso u agreed upon, to tender the meaning of the clause which had been objected to clear and distinct. The Earl of MALMESBURY regretted, that after the words " Grain, Meal, Flour, warehoused," these, "or entered to be warehoused," should have been inserted, as he found that the *argot., of ships which had been entered at any port before the 2d of May, were to come within the meaning of the Bonded Corn, although they had not been discharged. A quantity of corn, of which no one could have a.just idea, might thus be thrown upon the market. Woman . Tell me, my heart . . Blue bonnets over the border (N. Edit.)

ANewspaper has just reached me with a report of Lord Howick's. speech at Alnwiek, on Wednesday. Ai feelings are there imputed to me which I should be ashamed of *entertaining, and conduct has been erroneously ascribed to me by his Lordship which must have been misrepresented to him, hut 'which, if consistent with the fact, would derogate from my public 'eharacter, I think myself called' upon to lay before you a statement And'explanation, which I Ana sure will be satisfactory to every vreadid mind, and must carry conviction even to my enemies. It as my intention to invert the order of his Lordship's remarks, and. to answer them point by point. - Lord Howick has been misinformed of the manner in which I canvassed, or he would not have accuaed me of preferring either of the other two candidates to himself. 'lt is well known to those gentle men to whom I have unreservedly declared my views, that at the titee of the late contest, and during the greater part of my canvass, V hoped that the two anti-ministerial candidates might succeed, and that, as far as eircumstaneee would allow me, I endeavoured to effect this object. It was only lately that I have entirely !than - 'finned this purpose, and I must add, that I was in ionic measure induced to give it up by hearing, upon authority which I could not doubt, that Lord Howick frequently expressed himself con 'ern* me, in a way that my conduct towards his Lordship was liar from deserving. There cannot be one freeholder in the coun ty whom I requested not to vote for Lord Howick, and there are many who asked me, if I considered his Lordship as my opponent, 'to whom I answered, " I believe be looks upon me in that light, but I do not consider him so." • .1 will tell Lord ,Howick and yourselves why I applied for the Chiltern Hundreds, and can assure him and you, that private talmosity had no part whatever in the sudden change of my in tention, when I determined to maintain my seat against all oppo sition. Does his Lordship suppose that I changed my intention, !becalm I understood that he was prepared to offer himself for the 'County if I had retired? My friends know that it was immate rial to me who sacceeded me in the representation of the,County, provided he were one who would vote with the Opposition. But as that circumstance has been brought publicly forward, I 441 enter into a short account of it. In the spring of 1823, I Vas so disgusted with the conduct of some persons whom I had 'considered my friends, and saw so little prospect of my ever find ing happiness in England, that 1 resolved to quit a country where painful recollections were constantly springing up. With this view I made application for the Chiltern Hundreds, when two friends called upon me, and after much entreaty, persuaded me to relinquish this intention ; and one in particular pressed upon me, that time would not fail to heal any wound, however sorely it might be felt at that time. I changed my determination. I have found his opinion as correct as his advice was friendly ; and the tonduct of my Constituents during the last few weeks has given me the greatest reason to be satisfied with the resolution which I then took, to use his Lordship's words, " of maintaining my wait against all opposition." I never accused Lord Howick of having been induced to come forward by any other motive than that of an honourable ambi tion, and his Lordship only can know whether he is more anxious to turn out myself or the Tory Member. That the greater part of my speech was an attack on many of his Lordship's supporters, is quite true; and as I can prove by the returns of the canvassing books, that wherever the influence of certain Whig Gentlemen is known to be paramount, all the splits are upon Lord Howick and Mr. Bell; I must continue to call their conduct unprincipled and disgraceful. Having neither included, nor intended to include his lordship in my reproaches against the Whigs, and having no :reason to suppose that his Lordship was satisfied with their con duct towards himself, I . must own that I have read the speech of his Lordship with the greatest surprise. The absence of the lead ing Gentlemen of the Whig party from the dinner that his poli tical friends lately gave to him, left au impression upon my mind that he had not received from them that cordiality of support to which he appeared entitled. However, I leave this question be tween them to be settled by his Lordship and themselves, and I inn confident that they must feel much gratitude to him for the manly way in which he has stood forward in their defence. Before 1 conclude thie address, I cannot refrain from expressing my astonishroent,that his Lordship should have listened for a mo ment to the report of my being hostile to hint, for he must be aware that it WAS my intention to have promoted his return at the last election by every means in my power, and that I did not pro mise any assistance to Mr. Liddell until his Lordship had declined a contest. If he were more cautious in believing reports which are brought to him, he would undoubtedly fall into fewer errors ; but when I was of his age I had not seen enough of the world to know that there are men ,in it who, in gratification of private hatred, will stoop to any falsehood : and experience shows that the most honourable minds are the slowest to entertain such suapi lions. I have no feeling of anger on account of any thing which has fallen from him ; and I shall take my leave of you with offer ing to you nay warmest thanks for your great kindness towards me, and repeating my assurance that, at the day of election, I shall come forward totally unconnected with any other candidate ; when I trust that the majority by which I shall be retuned will secure your independence for ever. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your grateful and devoted servant, T. W. BEAUMONT. CONTRACT FOR HOSIERY, Royal Hospital for Seamen, it Greenwich, May 25, 11126.

Lord DACRE lit , esetitea a petition from John Morgan, owner of mince and land in the counties of Monmouth and Glamorgan, stating that there wee nn Complaint of Want of demand in his part of the country, but a real want of the means of making payments, and praying that hts Majesty's Ministers would take measures to supply a gteater quantity of circulating medium, or dittilnish the charges to which mannfacturers were subjected. The Noble Earl regretted that the same enquiry which had been extended to Ire land and Scotland, with respect to the proposed extinction of small notes, had not been applied to this country, before the late me*• sures had been adopted. He also regretted to hear that the hopes which had been entertained with respect to the establishment of Branch Banks by the Bank of England, in the country, were not likely to be realised. The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that the Bank, on the con trary, were seriously engaged in considering both the places where and the manner in which those Branches should be established. Such an inquiry was absolutely necessary before any thing could be done, and he had received information from those most able to give it, that the object Was not only under serious consideration, but that there war, every prospect of its being carried into execn , tion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE gave notice, that next Session he should move, that a Committee be appoint►d to take into console ration the regulations of the Mint, with the view of showing the propriety of•having a free Mint in silver, as well as in gold. It was an advantage enjoyed by every other country, and he did not see why it should be denied to ours: The Petition was then read and laid on the table. WEST INDIES. Viscount DUDLEY and WARD presented a Petition from ' certain Merchants of Liverpool trad►ng with the West Indies. The Petitioners complained of the insecurity of West India pro perty, and the dangers of compulsory emancipation. The Noble Lord, ►n taking a short ♦iew of the question. of compensation, stated that the only fair way of appraisement would be, not to take the value of the Negroes alone, hut that of the whole estate, and then to divide it by the number of Negroes. For if their Negroes, when once made free, were to refuse to work for pay, the estates could not be cultivated, and would cease to have any value. Between the present time and the next Session, Parlia►nent would see what the Colonists would do, or would be willing to do. If they still continued to reject every proposed measure, it would then be time for Government to put forth its strong arm, and the Colonists would lose the countenance of those in this country, who, from interests or good wishes, had hitherto supported their cause. The Earl of LAUDERDALE. said if, by the strong arm of Government military force was meant, the result might be horrors still wore shocking to humanity than airy which had been adverted to whilst describing the enormities of the hlavv trade. Viscount DUDLEY ; and WARD said that lie did Din wean military interference. The Petition was then laid on the table. • CATHOLICS. • The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a Petition from the Catholics of the County of . Monaghan, praying for total emanci pation. The Noble Marquis was convinced that till that question was set at rest, the British Empire would never enjoy, that tran quillity or attain that degree of power which Providence meant it to enjoy, He rejoiced that be was one of the sixty-nine Peers shaded to in the Petition, u having supported the interests of the injured six millions of British subjects, whose claims had been year by year submitted to the justice of Parliament....-Real and laid on the table. FRANCE AND GREECE. Earl DAIINLEY, notwithstanding the assurances which the Noble Earl opposite bad given him some days ago respecting th e neutrality of the French Govermnent towards Greece, considered that neutrality not to be more real or honest.than the conduct of the same Government with regard to the Slave Trade, which it pretended to have abolished. Ammunition had lately been sent from lklarseillee to the Paella of Egypt, under convoy of a French national ship of war, and the French Officers who enlisted in the Turkish service wore allowed to retain their half-pay, whilst it was taken away from those who served with the Greeks. Under those circumstancea he Himould move an humble Address to his Majesty, praying that he would order to be laid before•the House copies of all communications received from the British Consul at Marseilles, relative to the fitting out of any ship in that port, as far as it bad come to his knowledge, for the aseietanco of the Pacha of Egypt. The Earl of LIVERPOOL hail never in the whole of his par liamentary career heard such a motion made without any previous notiss. It was one which could only be justified by establishing is strong ease, which had not even been done by the Noble, Earl. His Majesty was at profound peace with all the world, and neutral in a contest which was unfortunately carried ou between the Turks and the Greeks. The brat object of Government was to m a i n t a i n th a t peace, and the nett to nee the best Metll3 in their rower to reconc i le t h e Belligerents. The interference of Parlia ment under such circumstances instead of doing good was only calculated to do harm. With respect to the neutrality of the French Government, there were two wart in which neutrality could be preserved. Either by a Government declaring that its simbjeets should not serve on either aide ; or, as we had done in time war between Sweden and Russia, when both the Russian and Swedish fleets were commanded by Englishmen, by allowing them to serve on both sides. Now this was what France had done; even at this moment there was a Greek corps officer of conelderahcommanded by a French le reputation. A s to what had come to his knowledge, it appeared to him that fully as much had been done in France for the Greeks as against them. Amt to the Slave Trade, it had nothing to do with the present question. To agree to the motion would be to eatablialt a precedent which be thought might be productive of calamitous results. Ha therefore trusted that it would not he presets'. Earl DARNLEY consented to withdraw the motion, but said that he should still try to ascertain whether the professed neutrality of the French Government was sincere or hollow. Lord CALTI4OIIIII preituted A Petition against the c0116111111:101 The Earl of. LIVERPOOL having moved the third reading of the Corn Importation Bill, The Earl of MALMESBURY hoped that the power given by the measure, would only be used in a case of strong necessity, and that instead of admitting the b 00,009 quarters allowed at once, it would be done progressively and with caution. . ' The Earl of LIVERPOOL agreed that it ought not to be ex ercised unless a case of great urgency should arise, but this must depend on events. *lt the Noble Earl might be enured that it would be need with caution, and in a manner to bear as lightly as possible OA the agricultural Interiit. After a fete words from the Earl of Lainelisitt. Lord C4LTRORPE expressed his approbation of the ptesent atteakures,slthongis he thought that his Majesty's Ministers ought to have gone still further. They ought to hug opened the Ses sion within iugpiry into the whole system of the Corn Lairs, with e view to alter it, and lint it at Once on a sound and perma nent footing. lied they done in, titty would stand Much higher in the public opinion than they did now. The Noble Lord then went at very considerable length into the question of the Corn Laws, and concluded by reiterating his belief, that if his Ma jesty's Ifihistets had stink ih (lit estimation of the public, it was in consequence of not having Manfully attacked, and settled at once, the system of the Corn Laws. The Earl of LIVERPOOL---I do not rise to answer the speech of the Noble Lord, and for a plain moon, no one can tell me what is the use of the gavels which we have just heard, The Noble Lord approves of the Mt) Bills, but has chosen to give me and my friends a lecture of en hour. I have no objection to he lectured, and it May be very necessary to lecture his Majesty's Ministers in both lionses but I hope that the next time he feels so disposed he will choose ;better occasion, or if he will give a lecture, that he will nicks it somewhat shorter.—(A laugh.) After a few words front the Earl of LIM/RICE and Lord Car:moan in explanation, the Bill was read a third time and passed. SMALL NOTES. The Earl of LIVERPOOL laid some Papers on the table and moved that they be printed, which were understood to be the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the cap e diency of extending the Abolition of Small Notes to Scotland and Ireland. The Earl of CARNARVON said that since, in conitqtlehee of the inquiries of the Committee, the extension of the measures to Scotland and Ireland had been abandtmcd, it might be supposed that the name result would have hewn the cane with respect td this country, had inquiry preceded the adoption of the measure in England. The evil* which that measure was calculated to pro duce began to reveal themselves, and he feared would grow still greater as it proceeded. The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated, that it had never been in tended to legislate for Scotland or Ireland during the present Sea- Ilion, so that the determination was not influenced by the Com mittee. He , had not altered his original opinion ; but he ad mitted that it had been proied that much inconvenience would arise from extending the measure to Scotland, in consequence of which it might be wise to abstain from doing so. But if a paper circulation could he maintained in Scotland or Ireland, it was solely because we had a metallic currency in England to support it, and to govern the exchanges between the British Empire and all parts of the world.—Adjourned. 110USF, OF COMMONS.

COLONEL BRADLEY. Mr. HUME held in his hand the petition of Colonel Bradley, iled the to co t m he . which had been altered and amended according to the suggestion n w be it r h s thitet usageat ]`noise, and an co d mm oo o l t r is co u n o tsi tum ne t : Colonel Bradley being in command as a military officer, see r a n , with his regiment at the settlement of Honduras, on the Spanish Parliament. He recapitulated the facts a l rea d asymil i cettui c nmg o ei n nic a l: f : o g r l : tite e ni r etm occasion in the Parliament ar y D e b ars as to m pnofuo a bt i hs: n ii ; that whilst so there Colonel Arthur, though on halfpay, m an a d nd en t j o oy w in h g ich a h ci e vi c i ou s l i d tua n t o io t n eo i rlce t it Cmhelovenyes, entitled, and h a d accordingly superseded him in that command ; that Colonel Arthur had alleged a special commission to take upon himself the comman d, which he had refused to show when called On; that subsequently, by the order of Government, he was suspended for having thus dons his duty, and finally compelled to leave the ser vice, only being allowed to sell two of hie commiscione, which two b e had purchased. He referred to the correspondence of Colonel A r thur, to prove that he felt himself in an awkward situation in the c o l o ny, the rank of Conunandent not being altogether ac quiesced in by the Colonists. Under these circumstance*, the Petitioner contended Colonel Arthur could have no right, by the , Lord PALAIERSTON believed the House had on a former oc casion heard too touch of this subject to render it necessary lie shoals] again tire them by refuting once more the arguments and allegations of the Hon. Member, or .the Petitioner A certain great chatactet of antiquity bad, it is said, the art of transmuting every thing he touched to the precious metals. The Hon. Member in like manner affected every thing he touched with mistakes and blunders.. Hicwhole statement was a series of errors. The commission under which Colonel .Arthur had been questioned in a Court of Law, proved that this petitioner had been guilty of a grime dereliction of duty in displacing his superior. Could the Cosnroander-in-Chief have abstained front displacing him ? Or was he harshly treated when be was allowed fa sell out more of his commissione than Its actually had bought ? The regulation as to service in the Wait Indies in the relative of three to two compered with service in other places, had no refer. once to officers, but to the time of service by common soldiers. The term therefore of 'IS years Perrier there could not iu this in stanced be eked out to 20 years service, or entitle him to the favour alluded to. The whole had been the result of , a very flagrant breach of military duty on the part of Colonel Bradley. The relinquishment of military rank which would have disquali fied Col. Arthur from receiving the allowances in this case meat be a resignation, *high had not taken place in the case of Col. Arthur. Colonel Arthur held a civil appointment and a military commission together, and this 'fled never been denied, but inde pendently of that he had received a special authority to assume the military command.—Thu petition wise laid on the table. Mr. /1011110 USE presented a petition from an Individual in Westminster, praying for the repeal of the Window Tax ; and another from Elizabeth Denton, complaining of the cruel treat ment of her infant child in the Lunatic Asylum. Both laid on the table. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from the Merchants and Shippers of Hull, complaining of the dangers to be apprehended [from the late regulations and alterations made in the Navigation [Laws of this country. The petitioners viewed with deep concern the fact, that ist 18241, the tonnage of four Menthe in the trade of the Port of Hull, telut in the proportion of 32,0 00 torts of British shipplegi and but 24,000 lons of Fortige shipping, whilst in the corresponding' Menthe of the last year, since tilts Bill was beginning to be felt in Its opeeatlnte. there were bet 10,000 tons Britieh, and 17,000 Foreign, making a toted balance against the present year of 15,000 tone. In timber, Foreiftletto must always have the pre fereace. Though formerly a friend to the reciprocity Navigation Lam, certain he was, that unless something were dune to remedy the evil emnplaintel of, the carrying trade must fall into the betide of Foreigners, to the prejudice and ruin t;f the British shipping in terest. It was a subject which required i.Ne gravest attention, both ott the part of the Legislature and those A:embers of his Ma jesty's Govertimeut, charged with the protection pf our shipping interest. Ho moved the petition should he read. Afr. ROBERTSON acquiesced in the etntement of t2‘e Mover, and regretted to say , that in p ro p ortion as the fo.reir carrying trade to this country iu creesed, our own carrying tr, declined. The petition was read end 'rdeeed to be printed. Eel; CiRA TION. Mr. W.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL prefaced his Resolutions on :the tt the subject of Bribery and Corruption with a short inqiiry into the alleged existence of bribery and corruption in that House. The notoriety of bribes to voters was such that one. the Standing Orders of the Howie went to correct the vininu j ; habit. The Noble Lord re-statetl the nature of his resole - jilts and the manner in which they were intended to meet tF evil: complained of. He then moved his first resolution to the , t eed, that in all cases when it was affirmed that bribery and our ruption existed in any Borough or place, and the allegations t a e suffi ciently specific, in twenty dart afterwards the petitica A shall h e heard, after due notice to all concerned, and Axing s itch nat i o on the town-hall, or nearest parish church. Mr. W.
